Uglify Your Sweater!

Our main advice when ‘uglify-ing’ your sweater: “more is more”! While we really think anything goes in the decorating approach, we’ve played around with these sweaters quite a bit. We hope these tips help make your decorating easy, unique, and memorable. Be sure to check out our blogs for styling features as well!

We recommend you first decide on your overall design. An easy way to go is choosing a large iconic Christmas item and building your sweater around that centerpiece. Check out our favorite sweaters from around the web for inspiration here or go through our Ugly Christmas Sweater Kit fan gallery to get even more ideas. One main tip- Unless you're using the sewing kit, don't wait until the day of your party to make this sweater... it's best to let the glue and the glitter gel dry overnight!

Set-Up Tips:

Place a barrier inside of sweater to avoid glue sticking to the other side. Foil works great, flatten the box your sweater cam in, or use the cardboard stencils square in box packaging.

Think of your theme before you start gluing and/or sewing. Lay everything out on the sweater before making anything permanent.

Try on your sweater! It helps to stretch it out BEFORE you start decorating so when you put it on after you decorate it it's already been stretched.

Use Stencils to Cut Felt Into Shapes

Use small stencils included in kit to trace on felt and cut out different holiday shapes.
